Book Review: "The First Four Years"

We finished the original Laura Ingalls Wilder series. This last book is a bit sad. I did not enjoy it nearly as much as the other books. However, I loved how Laura talks about having a positive attitude through all her adversity. She does not sit around in self-pity or cry out about how unfair her life is. I think we can learn a lot from her books about family, hard work, and looking for the good in her life.

We read this as our read-aloud book for homeschool and it has been a pleasure. We also just discovered that we can go see Laura and Almonzo's home in Mansfield, MO about an hour away.

  1. Holy Cow. Do you k now how much I love the Little House series? In fact, just lastnight, I looked on my netflix account to see if I could watch some episodes right online and I can't, but I would have...and I still might order them to watch sometime. If you go, take a picture for me. I enjoyed the website. Have you guys ever read Mrs. Mike? If you like Little House, you'd like that one. It is my favorite book of all time.
